A sure-fire sign a team is on the ropes is when the misfields start.
A loose throw in towards the stumps is wide of Amy Jones and Sri Lanka are gifted two runs.

Target 105
Does Chamari Athapaththu have plans this evening? Because she is wasting no time chasing down this total.
The Sri Lanka opener hits Charlie Dean for back-to-back fours to go with her six earlier in the over.
The tourists reach the end of the powerplay in a commanding position, to put it mildly.

The only person in danger from this six from Chamari Athapaththu was a lady on her balcony, who very nearly took a stunning catch.

This has been a clinic from Chamari Athapaththu.
She has hit another huge shot back over Charlie Dean's head and out of the ground.

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWe don't know how Issy is feeling in herself and with her run-up. But this performance is telling me that she is not at her best.
It's not nice to see because she is so talented. A break from cricket might be the best thing.
But she is a young player and she backs herself so much. That would be such a big call for her to make because you want to be playing, you want to prove that you can perform.

A difficult over from Issy Wong, who bowls three pretty hefty no-balls and a wide.
She took some time off at the end of the Hundred to work on her action. It seems she is still struggling for her rhythm.

England made a fine start, taking the wicket of Anushka Sanjeewani, but things have taken a turn for the worse since.
SL 41-1published at 4 overs
Just one run comes off Charlie Dean's first five balls, but Chamari Athapaththu nails the final delivery through the on side for four.
It was nearly a six too as it landed on the boundary sponge.
Issy Wong will bowl next up,

No. Harshitha Madavi was safely home.
On we go.
Umpire reviewpublished at 3.4 overs
Ooh, some sharp work in the field from Kate Cross as she throws in a direct hit as Sri Lanka attempt a quick single.
Is Harshitha Madavi short of her ground?

That is huge!
Chamari Athapaththu has absolutely hammered the ball over square leg and out of the ground for a massive six. It was very nearly taken by a lady on her balcony in her flat overlooking the ground.
Three fours and a six from Athapaththu. England look a bit stunned.

SL 30-1published at 2.5 overs
That is a glorious drive from Chamari Athapaththu. She is offered some width outside off stump by Kate Cross and clatters it through the covers.
She finds the boundary next ball too, this time a powerful on drive straight down the ground.
And it's three!
Too short from Cross and Athapaththu pulls through the leg-side.
Three fours, all hit in different areas of the field.
